I know some people that went through P.O.E.T. (which has since been replaced by the dept. in the link) and are now embedded and professional in their chosen fields. It's a good place to start if you need the assistance, you just need to jump through hoops, as well as try to succeed the best you can. Hope someone finds this useful. |
For those that just skimmed over this, here's a rundown of what a friend did through the P.O.E.T. program (which is very similar to the ^new^ one in the link).
To qualify (in Illinois):
- Must be an Illinois resident for at least 1 year
- Must have a High School equivalent
- Must have not made more than 6k during the previous year
Benefits:
- 100% Paid tuition for chosen profession (in this case it was Computer Aided Drafting)
- Allowance for gas mileage to-from school
- Allowance for meals during school hours
Basically, all you have to do is study and the Gov't takes care of the rest.
